You guys have gotta be joking right.
"When she can buy them, she can wear them." - Well folks, that will come soon enough. In three or four more years you will revisit the exact same conversation without such an easy out.
Except then at that point they aren't gonna GIVE A DAMN what you have to say about it.
Now listen to me. You need to find out WHY whe wants them. I HIGHLY doubt she wants them to "show off" or "attract boys" or whatnot. That just doesn't make sense for a child who is 12 years old.
They wouldn't have any reason to feel like that at this point.
Now the reason thongs were created was to remove visible panty lines, which is STILL probably not an issue at this age except mabye when she wears a thin skirt or pants that are too tight.
Here's what I suspect. She thinks its "cool" and probably doesn't even KNOW why. You are all thinking she really KNOWS why she wants them "oh she wants to show them off".
Some friend probably told her "hey its cool to wear thongs" and now she just wants to be "cool", or mabye she watched a little too much Brittany Spears and "wants to be like Brittany".
WHATEVER it is, it PROBABLY has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH SEXUALITY. Don't shut her out and say no for a reason she won't understand. ALL THAT WILL DO IS MAKE HER REBEL LATER WHEN YOU CANNOT CONTROL HER.
Talk to her. Find out why. Then make a decision based on fact, not irrational fears.
